No change to report from yesterday. We’ve been starting out with single-digit temps and making our way into the 20’s each day. There are clouds across the sky this morning which are supposed to break up by the afternoon. Temps are at a decent 23 but won’t get much more than 26 they say. The radar looks clear right now but tomorrow’s forecast for snow (60% chance) is promising. There hasn’t been traffic but the wooded trails were groomed last night. Conditions are smooth with some snirt around trail arteries. It’s amazing what our groomers can do with only a small amount of snow! Check back in tomorrow for the latest in conditions…

Just an FYI that there’s logging activity on the east loop of our wooded trail. The area is signed but watch for changing trails conditions where the trail has been plowed for vehicle traffic. The activity stretches about 1/2 to 1 mile.

Other grooming club news is the new drag we took delivery of last week. The State approved our purchase and this drag was custom-made for us by the experts at Dubie Welding & Fabrication in Gaylord. We’re glad to support local, Michigan business with this purchase. And since this drag will be paid for with State dollars it’s nice to know your trail permit money is coming back around.

Thanks to member donations we’re putting up a groomer building ,where we now store and can work on the equipment. Your support makes all the difference! Thank you–
